The NRL have written to the QRL seeking clarification over Reuben Cotter’s HIA substitution in Origin II, and is reviewing a potential interchange card bungle by the Maroons.

The NRL have sent the Queensland Rugby League a “please explain” relating to a head injury assessment interchange involving Reuben Cotter during Origin II last week.

Cotter, meanwhile, was up-ended in a tackle by Liam Martin in the 36th minute at the Melbourne Cricket Ground last Wednesday. Martin was penalised but not charged by the match review committee because Cotter was ruled to have landed on his right shoulder. The NRL have in the past written to clubs wanting further information over why a player has been brought from the field for a HIA when there has been no clear contact with the head.Clubs, or in this case the QRL, risk being given an official warning or fine if the NRL determines there has been a breach of the rules. The QRL were contacted for comment on Monday evening.

“The ball comes out of his hand and there’s nothing to stop it dropping away from the arm, so there’s no way this can be ruled a try.”
